This Weekend is *The* Weekend, According to ELLE Astrologer Susan Miller

Before this year, I never read my horoscope to really read into it; if I came across a prediction or explanation germane to my circumstance, whether it was in a six-month-old gossip weekly or something more current and credible, I might for a second think I'd been enlightened, but ultimately, I chalked whatever it was up to coincidence—or simply forgot about it. Then, one day, one of the smartest and least likely people in the ELLE office let it slip how much she believed. "You're kidding, right?" I asked her. Straight-faced and monotone, she replied, "No. Susan Miller, Astrology Zone, just stop talking and check it out."

So I did. And for the first time in my life, I came across someone who, the more in-depth she went—and by deep, I mean a dozen paragraphs every single month—the more loudly her words rang true.

In a recent profile in the New York Observer, we learn that Miller's client list (which she's amassed over several decades), is quite starry, with long-time clients ranging from A-list actresses to fashion titans (young and seasoned) to anyone else she can squeeze into her schedule who can afford her $500/session readings. With 18 million unique hits a month on her site, Astrology Zone, and an über popular page every month in ELLE, regardless of how much or little faith you have in what she does, you have to respect her ability to build a following.

Yesterday, I had a chance to speak at length with Miller, an interview I requested after reading in my horoscope and then again on Joe Zee's Twitter, that February 27th was primed to be the most fortunate day of 2010.

"It's true," Miller told me, "Every sign will have a small window around the 27th that will be prime for `bearing fruit,' but especially Pisces, who, for the past two years have been really put through the gauntlet." Why is this weekend, in particular, so special? "Jupiter will be perfectly aligned with the sun," she says. "And that is always the luckiest day of the year—plus, the 28th is a full moon, which is very fortuitous for love and engagements." "And since Jupiter entered the House of Pisces for the first time in 12 years this past January 17th, for all Pisceans, it is the Horn of Plenty—good fortune in virtually every capacity: love, work, fitness, travel, communication, really, everything."

After expressing to Miller my newness to her field—a confession in which she sensed a little hesitancy—she told me none of her readings were meant to be passive predictions. "I can tell you when times will be more golden than others," she says. "I can tell you, based on your chart, whether it's a professional change or a family-related issue—whatever it is—which days you can best use to your advantage. But you have to be pro-active," she says emphatically, "You have to go out and create opportunities and plant the seeds yourself." Plant the seeds how, exactly? "Well, if you've had a great idea you've been holding onto, make sure you schedule a meeting to get that idea to the next level during that window." What about love? It's harder to be pro-active in love without being, oh I don't know, a little creepy? "If you're not seeing someone, all I'm saying is get yourself out there, go to a dinner party where you know only one person, go to a book reading, check out new social circles; this is the time to form the DNA of a new relationship."
